How to relax at the dentist
Yes, it is actually possible to relax whilst you are at the dentist! Here are our top tips on how to increase your relaxation while you are having your teeth fixed.
- Bring your headphones. We have found it helps certain patients to listen to their favourite music during a dental procedure, as it takes their mind off things. We are more than happy for you to listen to music during your visits if it helps you to relax.
- Watch your favourite show. At our Claremont dental clinic, we have Netflix streaming available, so you can watch your favourite show during your dental appointment. We have even found some patients are disappointed their appointment is over before they finish watching an episode of the latest show they have been binge-watching!
- Consider medication. Our Claremont dentists are able to prescribe you pre-medication that is designed to help you feel calm and less anxious during your dental visits. Just ask us and we would be more than willing to help.
- ‘Happy gas’. We have sedation inhalation, sometimes known as ‘happy gas’ available to take your mind off things and relax during your dental appointments. We can discuss if you are suitable for this.
- Sleep dentistry. Finally, you can actually be asleep whilst you have your dental work done! You can find out more about this in our blog post on sleep dentistry right here.
